Lessons from nature

A little egg, fragile in itself
A life flourishing within
How it's protected, how delicate the proceedings
A wonder of nature indeed

The dispersion of pollen grains
How ingenuous the way
The flower and the bee
Their mutual coexistence

How a kangaroo keeps its young

A pouch held to its heart

How a flytrap is quick to clasp

On the unsuspecting bee

How a tree keeps giving
A shelter, a juicy fruit
A solid trunk stands firm, as all around it changes

These are the ways of nature's working

How they all coexist
We must learn from its teachings
On life and how to live life, mutually

Nature gives to all

At every back and call
And yet we tarnish
The mother that has borne us all
